Great Hall is a modern, medium-sized theatre in the centre of Cambridge, suitable for a wide range of performance events. Great Hall is the Performing Arts Centre for The Leys School. It was completed in September 2013 and officially opened by HRH the Earl of Wessex in January 2014. Since 2016, CTC has used Great Hall at The Leys as its main performance space.

The Great Hall at The Leys is in the historic centre of Cambridge and within 10 minutes’ walk of both the Grand Arcade and Queen Anne Car Parks. Cambridge is a busy city and traffic conditions can be difficult, especially on weekends. Please factor this into your journey. After 5pm, parking is free on Trumpington Road near the theatre. There is no car parking available on site except for disabled patrons.

Tour of the Colleges – Most of the university’s stunning colleges are open to the public at set times during the day – look out for signboards set out in front of college gates to advertise opening hours. Or take a punt or walking tour.

University Museums – Cambridge University is blessed with some of the best museums in the world, from the stunning art collection of the Fitzwilliam to the world famous Museum of Zoology which houses specimens collected and used by Charles Darwin. Visit this site for information about all the University Museums: cam.ac.uk/museums-and-collections.

Adjacent to the Cambridge University campus, this traditional hotel, set in a Georgian townhouse, is 5 minutes’ walk from Cambridge University Botanic Garden and less than a mile from Cambridge train station.

CTC has continued to stay abreast of developments relating to the coronavirus and the possible timescales for the lifting of restrictions. At present, there is no confirmation of when the current situation will alter but it would appear that theatres will certainly be one of the last venues to escape social distancing.

Due to the nature of our productions, we have to plan at least 6 months in advance and we are therefore faced with making some very difficult decisions. We are hopeful that things will improve but obviously, we must continue to place the safety of both our performers and audiences at the heart of our decision. Following consultation with the Trustees, we have decided to postpone all 2020 productions.

We appreciate that this is incredibly disappointing and whilst we would like to delay making this decision, we feel that we must be prudent and sensible. Our plan is that we will reschedule shows where possible in 2021.

During difficult times, we know that theatre provides an escape and we are devastated that we are effectively having to cancel an entire year of shows, however, our resolve remains unwavering.

We will be back – bigger and better. In the meantime, please stay safe and take care.
